Technically a townhouse, rarely does a unit deliver the presence, privacy and everyday livability of a single-family home quite like 23 Porter Street, Unit C. From the curb, you’d be hard-pressed to guess this is a condo. Set in an attractive, classic Beverly home, this spacious four-bedroom w/ primary suite, 2.5-bath residence has its own private entrances, one-car garage and parking for three additional cars, plus a large, level common yard that feels more like your own outdoor extension than a typical condo setting. Inside, the layout is what makes this home really work. Generous rooms, a natural flow and plenty of separation between living and sleeping spaces give you the flexibility today’s buyers want—room for a home office, guests, a workout space, creative projects or simply a place to spread out. The home is attached only at the rear, and the shared wall is limited to a closet and half bath, giving this unit an unusually independent feel. The house has great bones, classic character and plenty of potential. A little cosmetic polishing—think fresh paint and refinishing the hardwood floors—could make a meaningful difference and give the next owner the chance to put their own stamp on the space without taking on a major renovation. In other words, this is not a project house; it’s a house with upside. And then there’s the location. Porter Street puts you in the middle of the Beverly lifestyle: close to the energy of the revitalized downtown, with its restaurants, coffee shops, breweries, entertainment and everyday conveniences, while the waterfront is right outside your door. You’re across from a neighborhood park and close to some of Beverly’s best coastal spots, with Pleasant View beach a block away and across the street from Gillis Park. For buyers who want more than a cookie-cutter condo—but aren’t looking for the price tag of a traditional single-family home—this is a compelling middle ground. It’s the kind of place that gives you room to grow without giving up the convenience, walkability and coastal lifestyle that make Beverly such a draw. Come see why Unit C feels much more like a home of its own than a condo. Annual master insurance cost: $2070 annually.

A Cape with good bones, ready for your vision. Tucked across from McEvoy Park on a quiet, level three-quarter-acre lot, this Cape gives an investor or hands-on buyer exactly what they're looking for: solid structure, honest wear, and real upside. The home has never been "flipped" before - original hardwood runs through nearly every room, the chair rail and wainscoting hint at the character worth preserving, and the layout (two bedrooms up, one down, a full bath, and a kitchen that opens to a rear deck) is a clean, sensible footprint to build a renovation plan around rather than fight against. The value-add is obvious at a glance: a kitchen and bath that are functional but are due for a full modernization, a basement with exterior bulkhead access that's begging to be finished into additional living space, and cosmetic surfaces throughout - paint, fixtures, flooring refinishing - that will transform the home's feel without touching the bones. Add central air, update to make it yours, and this could be a completely different property. The lot itself does a lot of the work for you: level, gently wooded at the edges, with mature shade trees and room to expand the deck or add a patio. Being directly across from a neighborhood park is the kind of amenity that's impossible to manufacture and reads well to future buyers. Location adds to the case - easy reach of Routes 495 and 93 puts commuters within range of the Merrimack Valley job corridor and southern New Hampshire, while North Andover's town center, schools, and Lake Cochichewick are all a short drive away. For a buyer willing to put in the work, this is a property where sweat equity has a clear path to real return.
